SAP Note 21665 - PA-TRV: advance is not taken into account

Symptom:

An advance entered via the advance transaction PR03 is not deducted from
the travel expenses which are to be refunded and which are transferred
using reports RPRFIN00, RPRDTA40 or which were accounted for Payroll
by payroll driver RPCALC*.

Cause and prerequisites

Feature TRVCT is not set up correctly.

Solution
Applies to: line R (remaining accounting variants) of feature TRVCT,
and to position 7 as of Release 2.2A or position 2 prior to
Release 2.2A. For Release 2.2A, position 7 was introduced especially for
an advance posting the setting up of which was previously determined
by position 2 of line R (Setting up posting of advances).

Position 2 (or 7) must be set to 3. This means that a posting in the
status 'application approved' is carried out in the status 'trip
approved'. In both cases, the advance is displayed in RED in the
bank transfer table and this in turn means that the advance is deducted
from the travel expenses that are to be refunded.
